Default Who has a high mileage integra?/Longevity

I have a 95 GSR with 200,000 miles on it, i bought it exactly one year ago and have put on 28,000 since (i go to MN to race and visit friends). I just love blowing people away and then making them look at the odometer. In 200,000 miles this car has only needed:

2 timing belts
regular tuneups and oil changes
1 Clutch
1 Coil
1 idler puller (50 bucks from acura :madfawk: )
1 exhaust (the greddy evo comes this week)
Some bulbs
A crapload of leather treatment (94-95 GSR's have the crummiest leather i have ever seen)

My car still runs exactly the same (idles perfect goes fast) as the new GSR's, i want to know how much life i can expect out of this engine (i have seen accords go 350,000 without anyone going under the hood) and how many others here are running with high miles. Also, would new valve springs and seats w/ a head gasket preserve some life?

believe it or not my tegGSR 1999 has approx 100,000 miles on it. the car was stolen and recovered when the odometer read 65,000 ... and i got new gauges since then. the newgauges i got read 35k, but they had 15 on them so i must have something like 80 k someoddmiles on her. shes perfect tho. havnt replaced anyhting as of yet (other than regular oil changes ((synthetic)) and tires) although the driverside door panel seems to be peelingup ... right by armrest .. happened to my fathers 97 gsr bak in thaday.

My door panel does that too, i have a buddy that works in the hospital and he is going to get me a medium gauge hypodermic that i will fill with thin CA, i will tell you if that works.

Hey do you remember at what mileage you replaced your clutch? I'm at 115K in my 94 GS-R (I put 25K on it in 1 year), and the clutch still seems to engage just fine, but I'm just nervous that it might give out one day and I'll be up a creek. I'm going to try my hand at autocrossing this weekend... crossing fingers. :shocked:

i've got 68k on my 95 ls and only 38k on the motor. (can't compress water) insurance covered it
